THE DOMINION.
ManItobans Disgusted at Premier
Noquay's Reported vaccIllatlon.

WINNIPEG, Aug. pa message has been
received here to the effect that Sir John Nc
Donald has stated that Premier Noquay has
been down to see him to try and arrange a
compromise in connection with the building
of the Red River Valley railroad, and
settle the difficulties that are so fast leading
to another rebellion. 1t Is generally believed
at Winnipeg that Noquay Is weakening and
the announcement is causing great feeling
Of disgust III he goes back on his record no
will certainly be ousted from the PREMIER
ship of the province. II Is expected that the
crisis between the government and the Pa
cifc railroad will be reached In day or two.
Unless the latter weakens, as members Of
the government now say, they will run line
despite any action.

HALIFAX, N. s.. Aug. 2O-In the Halifax
jubilee cup race today the Galatea was sue
cessful, beating the Stranger and Dauntless
by mile and a half. The Halifax yachts
were left away in the distance. The race
occupied six and half hours.
In spite Of the great efforts put forth by
the Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Club, the Hall
fax regatta succeeded in attracting only two
foreign boats, the Dauntless and the Galatea
The club foolishly changed the date Of its
regatta for July 16, when It bad been prom
ised four yachts, the Gitana, MOhican,
Stranger and Galatea, in order not TO con-
fiict with the cruise Of the Atlantic Yacht
| Club. IL is so hard 70 get the New York
yachts around Cape Cod that the Eastern
Yacht Club has tried for i've years in vain,
| and II was not likely that they could be in
| duced 10 90 as far as Halifax.
The Dauntless seems TO have the lions
share Of international contests. She has
sailed several transatlantic contests, and
now has had shy at the two late eup-chal-
lengers, the Genesta and the Galatea.

other Games Saturday.

The Diamond Islanders defeated the High
School nine in close and exciting game
Saturday afternoon on the ground Of the
island club. The High School boys scored
one run each in the LIST Sd and 9th innings
and the Islanders did not score until the Tth
and 9Th when they made two in each. Gate
ley and Comedian were the battery for the
High School and Taylor and Cole for the
home team. Taylor struck out 13 men and
In two innings struck out all three men. Nc
Cafferty umpired.
The Portland Stars defeated the Bidde-
fords on the latter's grounds by score Of
to 5. The playing Of Buck ON first base,
and the catching of Webster, were the
features of the game, while the pitching Of
Kelly was satisfactory.
The Willards defeated the Old Sports Of
this city 25 to 4. The latter club got only
four scatter hits off the Willards' pitcher.
The fourth game between the Presump-
scots and Yarmouths for the championship
of Cumberland county was to have been

The st. Petersburg Gazette says that since
the establishment Of Prussian hegemOny In
Germany and the overthrow Of France with
Russia's help, the Germans have become
proud, naughty, cynical, egotistical and
d0mineering Russia has therefore been
compelled to resume her liberty Of action.
While France Is without a stable govern
ment an alliance between France and Russia
Is impossible. War with Germany would be
a national calamity, and Is therefore unde-
sirable. Relations between Russia and Ger
many will become normal as soon as Ger
many lays aside her pride and shows due
respect for the legal rights Of her neighbors.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
A New Method Proposed for Recruit
ing Uncle Sans Forces.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20-General Henry
A. Morrow of the army has made an import
ant recommendation concerning the supply
of recruits, which will probably be favora-
bly, considered at army headquarters. In
the opinion Of General Morrow the present
practice of supplying recruits to companies
but once year, and then in large detach-
ments, should be discontinued, and recruits
should be sent to companies to fill vacancies
as they occur. In this way he thinks a stea-
dy stream of fresh men would be continually
flowing into companies, and would, so to
speak, be quicker assimiated by the system.
Under the present custom nearly every COM
pany in the army receives each year from six
to a dozen new men in a single batch.
This works badly in all respects. The new
men do not readily fall into the ways of the
company, and being so numerous they form
cliques among themselves. Gen. Morrow
thinks a better plan would be to fill, as far
as practicable, vacancies as they occur 1t is
thought that If the system suggested by Gen.
Morrow is adopted, it will have tendency
to lessen the number of desertions.

Wales Way of Discipline.

London Letter.
His eldest son, Prince Albert Victor,
is just now experiencing his first bit of
severe royal restraint. He has been for
sometime quartered at Aldershot (pro-
nounced Awldershot, by-the-bye) as
lieutenant of the Tenth Hnssars, the
SWEETEST cavalry regiment in the Brit
lsh army, and of which his father is
the colonel. He has been given good
long line for his leading string, and al
lowed to fall in love with every pretty
girl he met, so long as matters did not
assume a serious aspect. The poor
young fellow has kept pretty we'll with
IN bounds until lately. But it seems
one tair young maiden sunk her bright
eyes.rosy lips, pearly teeth and slender
ankles deeper in his princely heart and
budding affections than royal re-
straint permitted; and, as a conse-
duence, Prince Albert Victor is to be
shipped off to Gibraltar without cere-
mony on the 18th in charge of a Sc
date equerry, there to join one Of the
line regiments in the shape of the Six
tieth Rifles, to one of the battalions Of
which infantry corps he has been ga
zetted. 1t is rather a severe punish
ment for a purely national offense; for
not only is he spirited away hey ond
reach OF his lady love, but to 90 from
a regiment like the Tenth Hussars,
and all it's smart belongings and sur
rounlings, to a commonplace one like
the Sixtieth, where his brother officers
are in no way equal in ''form" to those
OF the Tenth, where he will be
obliged to march on his feet in
stead of astride dashing charger, and
where a uniform OF dingy, invisible
green takes the place OF blue and elab-
crate gold lace trimmings, cam, in some
respects, be regarded as little less than
humiliating degradation. If it had
even been the Rifle Brigade-but the
Sixtieth!
I daresay his papa has had the
strongest finger in directing the penal
ty. You see, '"Tummy" himself, when
he was a youngster and quartered at
the Curragh Camp, in Ireland, with the
Grenadier Guards, away back in '62
or So, went and lost his head and
heart over a pretty Irish girl, and the
report was, at the time, actually mar
ried her. OF course, the marriage was
not legal, for prince cannot marry
q subject without the consent of par
lament; but that, instead, OF excus-
ing the prince, only made it more dis
graceful Of him. So che knows how it
is himself"

Soap in the Holy Land.
New York Tribune.

New York Tribune
The introduction of soap, it is said,
is doing much to civilize the people OF
the Holy land. A large soap factory
has been established on the site of
ancient Shechem, and the people are
beginning to useit on their persons in
stead of trying to eat it, as they did
at first. Along with the introduction
of soap other reforms are going on.
Bethlehem has been rebuilt, and the
streets are lighted with gas. Cesarea
Is having a building boom. Nazareth
is becoming the headquarters
OF big olive spectators. Corner
lots in Joppa are going up with u rush,
and real estate in Mount Carmel is
largely held by spectators for an adj
vance. All around Shechem there Is
a lively demand for good soap fat,
and the sleepy inhabitants OF Ramoth
Gilead think of building q glue fac
tory. Jerusalem is waking up also, it
has STRENGTHENING bureau, big
clocks on it's public buildings, and its
suburbs are being built up rapidly.
Even in the vale Gehenna the price of
land has gone up. The ladies of Jeru-
salem take all the Partisan fashion
journals and know all about tue lat
est style Of hair dressing.

Reverses of Fortune.

In noticing some reverses of fortune
Of prominent persons the Washington
correspondent of the Baltimore Sun
tells the following:
A few weeks since an ex-member OF
congress, who had not been much in
Washington for a half dozen years or
more, made his temperance here,
and it was not long before those who
knew him of old discovered that times
had sadly changed with him. Heserv-
ed several terms in congress as the rep
resentaLive OF one OF the largest cities
OF the West; man of handsome APP
pearance, agreeable manners and of
much more than ordinary culture.
He was a bachelor and agrert favorite
in society. His standing in the house
was such that he was frequently call
ed to the chair OF the presiding officer.
and for a short period served as
speaker by election OF the house. Aft
er leaving congress he gave up his resi-.
dence in the state which he had serv-
ed, and going to New York city estab-
| lished himself in law partnership
! with an ex-member from New York
and another gentleman, who had also
tasted deeply of the pleasures Of
! Washington life. All three Of the part
ners were young, able, well connected
and with scores of influential friends.
Their business for a time prospered
and the future looked very bright
But extravagant ideas and convivial
tendencies proved more attractive
i than the p!odding cares Of profession
al life. Business neglected went to
pieces, the firm was broken up and its
members drifted far out upon that sea
of broken hopes and wasted oppor-
tunities, and the one above especially
alluded to was finally washed ashore
at the spot OF his former glories and
triumphs. Since his arrival he has
lperforce been compelled to join the
army OF .scolonels, judges and ma
| iors," and it is pitiable to see how
soon he has learned to reaust a small
Iloan and be promptly On hand when
barroom invitations are going
a around.

tOh, we ell know what men Of hon
or say at such times! sneered Vance.
The very air swooned about the girl,
but through the mist she seemed to
see a gleam! II rose, it leaped like a
fame! In whose hand was the cruel
knife?
She seemed to reel between them.
A stinging pain stuck her, and there
was sudden shrek that rang out
like the crack of doom.
Those who rushed in saw dark
mass OF drapery on the floor; q man
kneeling beside it, pressing a girls
head against his breast. He
was sobbing without restraint.
Zachary stood afar of, as one paral-
yzed. The girls white face was con.
vulsed with pain, and there was a ter
rible wound in her side, but she was
cropping feebly about clutching at her
breast.
"I-have itsomewhere, ''she moaned.
''It is safe, Vance You can live now!
The money is all right
Like an electric flash, Vance COM
pretended all.
.sOh, my love, my love!" he sobbed,
twas it for me? Fool! beast that am!
Oh, Rose, stay cannot live without
you! Oh, forgive!-forgive mel
There was only a futtering sigh in
answer, but in that sigh thesoul ofthe
fading Rose escaped from its prison.
Vance Erskine wanders over the
world like a lost spirit, but he never
fails to keep the roses bright and
blooming about the slender shaft Of
marble that marks his darling S grave.
The inscription reads:
"RosE-she lived as roses live,
But morn"

the captains orders, but I thought it

the captains orders, but I thought it
best to ask no questions. When the
time came tried the door. 1t was
unlocked. and with my shoes IN my
hand crawled through the cabin and
out on deck. The steward and one
sailor were the only men In sight, and
they had their backs turned to me IN
an ostentations way, so I, kept to
the bows and gave a low whistle.
/ heard the paddle of an oar and slid
leg seized and was drawn into the
sanpan. The boatman landed me
above the city, and alone and at night
Istarted on foot to tramp my way
into the interior OF China with no
idea where was going and only think
ing OF getting as far from the ship and
the man had stabbed as / could.
When daylight came l found myself
in a big rice field. There were few
Chinese cottages in sight, and to them
l made my way. With some difficult
ty got something to eat and then
asked the way to Han Kow. They
understood the word, and showed me
a byroad leadingin the direction lsup-
posed Han Kow to be. For eight days
travelled along the road, sometimes
followed by a mob OF young Chinese
and sometimes stoned and pelted
with mud, but always exciting an i'm
mense interest and curiosity. Then I
came to the city, and found myself
again among English-speaking people.
stayed several months in Han Kow,
and then made my way in an English
steamer to Hong Kong. I got work
there in a sailors clearinghouse as
a runner at first, and later got a
place in the Chinese customs through
the influence OF an American gentle
man whom had the good fortune to
serve in some little way. For three
years / remained there. I often
thought of home and wanted to re-
turn and see my family, but 1 never
could save enough money, and made
up my mind I would not let them
know I was alive until l could pay my
way home. | finally got enough mon
ey, and [ can't tell you how glad I
am to be under the stars and stripes
again"
